Indianapolis, IN estate planning attorney DeAnn Farthing talks about the most rewarding aspect of her practice and her background and experience. She finds the most rewarding aspect of practicing law to be the opportunity to help people. While many areas of legal practice are reactive, she particularly values transactional work, which allows her to take a proactive approach—anticipating problems and providing solutions before they arise. Building strong relationships with clients and understanding their needs enables her to deliver meaningful value.

She attributes much of her preparedness for her current practice to her upbringing in a small town, where her father was a business owner. This early exposure provided firsthand insight into the operations and challenges of running a business, helping her understand what drives people and the issues they seek guidance on. Combined with the variety of professional experiences she has gained over the years, this background allows her to serve clients not only from a legal perspective but also with practical, real-world advice tailored to their unique situations.
